Mission Statement:

UniversalSalons.Com is dedicated to promoting positive exposure of the professional cosmetologist to their target markets through Magazine publications and web site distribution.


The goal for this shoot is to allow the participating cosmetologists to showcase their talents in a way that we hope will make a lasting statement on the hair industry. We feel that by removing the hurdle of an upfront cost to participate, cosmetologists will be able to create the best look possible to promote their salon brand. By assisting the hair salons in this endeavor, UniversalSalons.Com will become the recognized online leader for trendsetting hairstyles as well as continuing to be the major supplier of high-quality hair images to national hair publications.

Isn’t it Time We Took Back the Hair Industry

Another goal is to put some distance between the professional cosmetologists who built this industry and the “social media superstars”, who are diluting the black hair industry with their unprofessional standards and practices. We built our business on the belief that “Nobody deals with the second-best as long as the best is available.”  When the public can see the benefits of patronizing the professional cosmetologist, we will be intricate in the rebirth of the black hair industry.

“We’re not looking for hairstyles that will just get published, we want hairstyles that will make a statement.” Chip Foust – UniversalSalons.Com CEO
